In moments like this we should not mourn but remember what good B.B. King has gave us. So since now, through whole next week, we're going to pay tribute to King himself playing one of his songs: Tribute to B.B. King: Guitar: B.B. King - Chains and Things PS. It will be placed in sheet for next week.

Man, i can't believe what i'm reading B.B. King passed away today, this is a really sad day for music :( http://www.showbiz411.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/BBKing_02092010_7670.jpg

Hello, I just tried the Bernixix's version, and I don't see a real imrovement for guitar players... So I keep going on the 1st one. But I must say the Bernixix's one is very fun to play and have vocals wich is cool... Anyway here is my little (green) improvment lol :http://i58.tinypic.com/w8rxcg.png

Had a shitty week, what could have been a reason that i dont really feel these songs and therefore lack enthusiasm for playing them, so here are 2 lousy attempts from me. Working Man Lead, 87% 21st Century Schizoid Man, 94% On the topic of the excellent Mr. King: Really bummed about that. That dude was really awesome, and just mad respect from me. He was one of my first influences for playin bluesy-stuff. We lost one of the big guitar guys today :( R.I.P.

Oh, B. B. I'll miss you and your Lucille. Now's the time for another of his tunes to remember his greatness. I hope other charters join me. Let's make RS a place to remember him.

after changing my Gibson's strings to a pack of new .10s i finally am getting some to register http://i.imgur.com/l5iPzMy.jpg also not a rush fan but at least i tried http://i.imgur.com/NiCCvE1.jpg

A sad day... Here's the obituary in the NY Times

Something goes wrong here... So, here the link: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/32993882484447369/2A1066195A6A215047FA6C9ABDC01E96617008EC/

This is indeed a really sad day.... :( I'll never forget the King and what he brought to so many million of music lovers, pure joy and love for music, specially the Blues!

Won't be challenging for the lead any time soon but at least i'm on the board now. Chord detection seems a bit questionable. More than likely 'pilot' error though.... Really cool bass line in this song! I love the intro before the guitar kicks in. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/vf3p8574xjumwan/221680_2015-05-15_00002.png?dl=0

Little Green Bag on bass 92.18%

I think that will be the first time one of my customs is played in the CS. Nice. ;) Maybe I'll even post a score.

update to 99 http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150515/ssg7vra9.jpg

It's humour rather than music, but this is how I remember him. That and seeing him live at the Ontario Place Forum around 1981.

The competition is definitely a big part of the attraction of the championship. Just playing on my own it's quite unlikely that I'd put so much time and focus into learning into learning a single song and all of the techniques with it. It's awesome having someone to push me a little bit further when I/d otherwise feel like I accomplished what I set out to and didn't have much room for improvement. So, thank you and everyone else in the Championship, for both your performances and often really cool and diverse song selections, and especially @@Mortalo for keeping everything running. With that said, I doubt I'll be able to invest nearly as much time and effort as I did this week in most coming weeks. This week was a kind of perfect storm of me having lots of free time, a great song selection for me (I like the song, and there was lots of stuff to learn from it without any part of it feeling overwhelmingly difficult), and a close competition. Hopefully some of the skills I picked up will translate into having to spend a little less time in future weeks! Some other comments: @@bernixix - "I never really got into the groove of this song." The song has a groove?! I'm sort of joking, but if you haven't done it yet, I suggest doing a CDLC 2 Tab and checking out the tempo changes. I don't envy the people who charted this song and had to align all of the notes with the audio! @@Nacholede - I guess it's probably disappointing knowing that you can get sniped on Saturday morning's and not be able to respond, especially if it's already happened a few times. But for this competition, at least for me, it's not really about winning, and the brand of internet points that come along with it. It's about improving and pushing myself to be the best musician that I can be. At the end of the day, the leaderboards are based on Rocksmith's note recognition and accuracy, which isn't perfect. It's really generous with some sorts of errors, and really miserly with others. For example, in one of the videos I posted earlier (probably the one that got taken down. The other one has lots of issues too, but I was playing without any backing) I had tons of issues that didn't lead to misses: notes played late but being registered because they were in sustains, notes ringing out that should have been muted better, notes that weren't plucked properly (so were ridiculously quiet), playing extra notes that shouldn't be there (and are often discordant), slurring notes in quick passages on one string, maybe not plucking every note in faster passages (probably not an issue here, but there's no way I'm actually playing the verse riff in Trapped Under Ice with 16ths at 230 bpm. I'm pretty fast but I'm not nearly that fast.). However, if I accidentally stop my slide from the 5th to 16th fret slightly early, I get a miss. If I start my bend to early, or bend too much or too little, I can get a miss. There are probably more things that cause easy misses that I forgot, but those are the ones I noticed in 21CSM. Anyways, the point is that, musically, many of the mistakes that I don't get punished for are as bad or worse than the ones that I do get punished for. While the Rocksmith accuracy score isn't a bad first approximation of your ability to play a song, there's a lot more to mastering a song than increasing your accuracy, and in many cases trying to increase your accuracy at all costs (by abusing some of the deficiencies of the note recognition noted above) comes at the expense of real musicianship. Well, that turned into a bit of a rant. Here's a TL;DR. TL;DR: Don't worry too much about your accuracy scores in and of themselves. Use them as motivation towards improving as a musician, and always keep good musicianship in mind when playing. Edit: Just saw the news about B.B. King. I guess I was writing or doing other things for quite a while! Always sad to hear that a legend passes. I remember him being an inspiration for my brother's guitar playing, and I'm sure he motivated many others as well. I have to admit, though, I'm not overly familiar with his music. Any recommendations on where to start?

Lead path is just a no no, seems I've forgotten how to Barre... or normal D chord or where the frets are or pick lmao Bass on the other hand is much better Bass int, 92% acc, 98 streak http://i59.tinypic.com/2cni2wk.jpg

Hope you can do it <3 but every saturday morning i have english, and always i lose the lead there, i have a lot of bad luck :ph34r: *gets outta character for a minute* Seriously guys, both of you, pushing me to my limit, this is what I missed the most about the championship. The drive and the push to do better. I have a lot of respect for both of you as a bassist and a guitarist, and I'm learning a bunch of new stuff everyday. @@Nacholede You were my goal when I started this, I saw your ridiculous score on Octavarium, and I couldn't even come close. I knew I had work to do before I could even think about coming onto your level as a guitarist, and that fueled my desire, my drive to become better. Seriously, thank you and thanks to @@Mortalo for handling a place where we this feeling can happen @@albatross213 You're the next generation of MC Bass, I can already tell, but I'm just priming you for whats coming next too, because there will be another returning challenger soon (Unless he has summer school then well, sad face :( ) that even I am afraid of returning, because his hunger is going to be like mine, and will force the both of us to get on another level. That, and you're one of the few people represent THE United States. Show the world that we defy our mainstream music, and that guitarists will once again take over this land over auto-tuned singers and songwriters that need 10 people to write a song. Now...back into character, and back to my beer :P

I'm getting closer...but i don't know why i keep playing because i will end up losing anyways http://i.imgur.com/TiaedmL.jpg

Alright so here's my score for this week's bass MC :) a really sucky one, but I never get into the groove of this song :X http://i.imgur.com/LnVNtm4.jpg This video is from my version of "Little Green Bag", so you can compare bass over Sirandok's version: [sharedmedia=videos:videos:1694] And here's the score (same than in the video) http://i.imgur.com/vIHpSzB.jpg

This is what happens when I get scared http://s9.postimg.org/pyqzbc1gf/2015_05_14_00004.jpg

On the Cheap epiphone, with a set of .08s (I've been using this guitar to practice my bends) I got to the end of the song but failed out the last section, so the accuracy is clearhttp://s14.postimg.org/9ws2scjcx/2015_05_14_00003.jpg On my Dean Razorback, with a Floyd Rose and a set of heavy bottoms (10-52), didnt use the tremolo, nor did I slide for bends. http://s16.postimg.org/rmjshie05/2015_05_14_00002.jpg Granted the playcounts are in reverse order, but I dont think that heavy gauge strings/super awesome pickups are needed for this song. I did notice that if you lose audio your guitar sound during a bend, you have to redo the whole bend to get Rocksmith to register. @@albatross213 I first saw that as 99.81% thanks for the scare

You can read up Loudwire's Rockers React here: http://loudwire.com/b-b-king-dies-rockers-react/ Play his official DLC by importing the original rocksmith, or by playing the songs in our database. http://search.customsforge.com/?a=B.B.%20King

Bernixix's Little Green Bag is way easier on bass so I won't be counting that scores. It just came to late... Unless majority of Advanced Bass members will want to .

Now...back into character, and back to my beer :P Also, i'm just another guitarist on the Championship, i've been playing guitar for 3 years (i got 18, i'm really young :ph34r: ), and Octavarium is one of my favorite songs of Dream Theater, and i played a bunch of times and i got that score! i was surprised for what i achieved. But also, i look back when i started to play here, and damn...i improved a lot, i think that's what matters most, you can feel frustated (like myself now, and RS that doesn't detect the goddamn bends or has random misses), but this will push your limits to become a great guitar/bass player. I will continue playing a little bit Working Man (because i really love Rush), but i know sooner or later i'm gonna get my ass kicked hahaha :D

http://i.imgur.com/xXJFhDN.jpg And I had one or two really stupid misses, too. @@Nacholede - I'll do my best to keep @@then3verend busy if you take the lead!

Step by step... http://i.imgur.com/VJj5gfn.jpg

in over my head with life this week so not much time to play. i'll catch up next week. until then: little green bag: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/715289226027376198/08C014FC5D203B8DC6761FDE61B9D03430BE921F/

Hello! http://i62.tinypic.com/34ir7z5.jpg I got better score on Lead lol. But I doubt that I'll improve this: http://i60.tinypic.com/2a4vneb.jpg The other ones... http://i60.tinypic.com/104mhc4.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/2d0jejn.jpg

last score today, my hands need a rest http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150514/qu2v3sqr.jpg

Here is my update on Adv lead. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Bends%20201%2094_zpsp7kghaja.jpg wait. was that the wrong song? never mind, close enough..............

Mercy is coming Monday, mofos. :D If there's no objections i would love to do it for the project. :D http://media.virginradio.fr/pmedia-2714118-ajust_640-f1431682897/le-tournage-du-clip-de-mercy.jpg

Today I got these: http://i60.tinypic.com/30mbtif.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/33jpnhy.jpg

@@Aludog You'll be more than welcome is all I can say, dude! I'm eager to play some of your selections for the Championship yet ^^

@@albatross213, I love all the songs from B.B., so it would be hard for me to advise where to start.... perhaps others can give you better advice on that.... his major hits you probably are already familiar with them, like "The Thrill is Gone", which is a RS ODLC and it's one of his songs I love the most. Excellent idea and excellent song choice, thanks. :D

We've still got Chris Thomas... but he's got huge shoes to fill :( I got to see Riley B. live three times. He was an absolute gentleman, even when he blew out one of his amps and it took ten minutes to get him a new one. Thrill is Gone is the reason I picked up a guitar in the first place. Today sucks.

@@PierreDole nice score Pierre! and with that score be so officialy goddamn welcome to our championship ^^

@@bernixix I only ment that your version is easier, so that can be unfair for some of the Advanced particpants, but it's their call.

Oh :( So the thrill is really gone now... RIP blues man

You played a broken custom song. Delete the song. And great Youtube channel btw, very good videos :D You should do more PC Plum videos...

@@Mortalo Ain't trying to say that my version is the only one but, honestly, I think Sirandok's bass version is just wrong(and made no sense to me), but it's my humble opinion of course...

Awesome. I have to head to work, but I'll package this up when I get home in about 9 hours!

What a list !!

It's a random and well known bug. More frequently is due to a custom without tone that breaks rocksmith tones. I experimented this also when i switch too much through setup (amps) in sound designer when i create a tone. So, you know, the only solution is reboot the game. But this never happened to me after couple songs. This always happened when i found a custom installed without tones, so i always check a custom on rs toolkit, if at least a tone is present.

Just wanted to let you know I've made my own version of Little Green Bag, from the scratch. I didn't like the actual cdlc (it has slight sync issues and at least bass path isn't accurate) hence I couldn't enjoy it :D. I'll leave link below and in case you wanna try it, I'd like to hear what you think! Bass has been mostly made from the scratch and guitar (combo - lead + rythm) been ripped from a gpfile. Bernixix's DD Version NDD Version

Thanks, but no adv at all.... the only reason why I can play The Loner fairly well is because I've played the lead arrangement more than 150 times and I'm not exaggerating, you give me any other arrangement of the same "type" and I can't even get close to 80%, much less 90%. I'm where I'm supposed to be, in the IM class :)

no... first I have to win, then you will see :P @@albatross213, great score, that won't be easy to beat.

@Kaijin As always, your feedback is really appreciated. Hope all is good for you. @Kaijin, @Bluetac and @bainies I just upload a new version of CGT that should fix any issues you were having, including the one with tuning "Other". The new version will also put all duplicates at the top of the table so that you don't have to scroll down much to find and remove duplicates. As you find corrupt CDLC you may want to post them for @lahelio so he can add them to his list of crashers and jammers. The new version of CGT provides much more detailed information about corrupt CDLC than ever before. Edit: @lahelio the new CST CDLC error messages includes specific details about what makes the CDLC corrupt. I remember you had questions about this in past.

How is the Disabler/Enabler coming? I'm refreshing the page every hour, should I switch to once a day? :D
